I don't think Nissan parts out the burger in the grille, but it's an easy enough call to fine out. The OEM grills costs over $160, though, so you might want to hit up a junkyard if all you want is the burger.

I wonder what goes through the mind of a traffic cop when they see a car with an AutoZone LED strip glued to the outside of their headlights?

there's nothing they can do..as long as the strip is white or amber. most state law dictates that any light seen from the front of the vehicule has to be white and/or amber

I urge you to reconsider your stance on this, while you are correct in general, there is a law that allows officers to convict/fine you for ANY modification that you've made to a car that renders it IN ANY WAY different from stock.

If they really want to be ******, they can even give you a fine for non-OEM installed wiper blades, etc. Point is, be very nice to the officer that pulls you over, telling them there's nothing they can do and telling them the 'law' would probably end poorly

Not that I'm suggesting you would do that.



Now, back OT!! I am very impressed with your creativity here, it really looks great with the car's colour, I was expecting this to look bad, but it really doesn't!

As far as the red letters though, IMO, epic fail. Paint them the OEM metallic silver flake or whatever it is that they are stock/repaint a new Burger and tape the lettering off. That, my friend, would look VERY GOOD, and also quite subtle and unique.

And Cheap Ebay LED strips FTL

I think the red letters look pretty good on a chrome burger... but in the engine bay, where it's OK to be a little more obvious.

^ I still disagree, but I'll shut my mouth

To each their own.
